My son is 3 weeks old and last night he started crying while he was nursing. He would let go and cry like he was starving to death. I would get him to latch back on and he would do it all over again. He eats almost every 2 hours on the spot but I noticed today that I don't feel my milk coming down like I was. I could pump out 4-6 oz and now I'm not getting as much. Could my milk supply be decreasing? He's wanting to eat before the 2 hours rolls around too. On top of that, he spits up each time he eats until he eats again. His dr has scheduled him for an ultrasound and what she called a milk scan for wednesday to see if he has reflux or something else going on. My 2nd DD breastfed for 6 weeks but we didn't have any problems with her. I'm feeling really helpless and frustrated cause I don't know what's going on.View Thread
